Svvninr Qllawa lirnphrrira In 1940, while I was sitting in the lounge of Annapolis Hotel, I saw a familiar figure and thought it was a former classmate of mine. I walked across the room and saw that it was our Class President, Henri Houpert. He carried his saxaphone in his hand and in' formed me that he was playing in the Anna' polis Band that evening. He asked what I had been doing and I told him that I was in Washington on business, as I was now the Secretary to the Australian Ambassador. In speaking of our classmates, Henri told me that he had met james Reed who is the head of a large number of soda fountains in Washington. We discussed Angela Pecoraro who had just secured the position of librarian in the Congressional Library. Also, Frank Holby was the Manager of the Port Chester Life Saver Corporation. When not in his oHice, he is seen speeding along the highways and turning corners on two wheels. joe Tierney is managing the baseball team for the Mamaroneck All Stars. We discussed the stage production, Night and Day, in which Miss Lucille Tocknell had the leading roll. Lucille had won a beauty contest previous to her stage appearance. Anna Kuhn, I told Henri, had graduated from Elmira College with high honors, and was now secretary to the Mayor of New York. Billy MacFadden, to his mother's great joy, is a successful engineer. He is now contemf plating building a bridge in the Sahara Desert. Robert Gunn is thinking of taking a trip to West Africa in his new airplane. Bob is an experienced pilot and spends quite a bit of his time wondering why the motor is necesf sary. It was past eight o'clock and Henri had to go, so I settled down to read the Australian Daily Bugle. I noticed, to my surprise, that Richard Gainey was the EditorfinfChief of this famous paper. Miss Lucille Frascella asf sisted him and took charge of the articles on college life, especially those of Fordham Uni' versity. The headline seems unusually large, it says, Raging Fire Destroys Home of American Consul. It says further, The spacious home of Robert Wakeman at Melbourne was des' troyed by fire today. The consul was away and the caretaker, John Walters, declined to make a statement for the press. The fire chief, Walter Haines, who was recently ap' pointed because of his unusual ability, was inf jured while directing his men. Further down it says, Captain Robert Lux plans to make a cruise around the South Seas in his famous ChrisfCraft. He will be accomf panied by the professional golf player, Alex Campbell, who will attempt to teach the game to the South Sea Beauties. Well, 1et's see what this is under the Perf sonal Column. Miss Nancy Reinke, re' nowned Professor of English Literature, has been awarded the Nobel Literature Prize for her latest novel. Page Sixteen

The junior boys' basketball team was not as successful in the interfclass games being defeated by the Seniors. The girls fared better, winning all games played. The junior Class published three editions of the magazine, Vox Gentis . All contrif butions were by the juniors. Thus the calendar of the Junior Class is replete with varied activities.
